\"\"On Thursday,<\/strong>\u00a0Gia Aggarwal<\/strong>, one of our MLC School counsellors, presented to Year 11 on managing stress. Gia reminded all of Year 11 that stress is a normal and expected part of life, particularly during the senior years. She discussed that whilst short\u2011term stress can be motivating, it was important they understood how to recognise and manage stress to be able to maintain their wellbeing as academic and personal demands increase over the next two years.<\/p>\n

During the session, Year 11 explored common signs and triggers of stress, including assessment pressure, workload, peer relationships, and online influences. Year 11 were presented with practical strategies they can implement to support their wellbeing, such as prioritising sleep, maintaining routines, taking short movement or mindfulness breaks, limiting overstimulation, and using creative or reflective outlets to manage worries. They were also given time during the session to reflect, discuss and practice some of the strategies that were presented and consider how they could implement this into their own lives.<\/p>\n

At home, families can continue to help you daughter by normalising conversations about stress, encouraging healthy sleep and study routines, supporting balance between work and downtime, and checking in regularly without adding pressure. Year 11 were reminded that at MLC School, there is a strong support network available to support them. Please encourage your daughter to reach out if they need any support. Reminding them that help is available, and that it\u2019s okay to ask for support, plays an important role in building their resilience and confidence.<\/p>\n
